Subject focus: Studying business courses

Students at Entrepreneur, Gold Coast.

There is a wide variety of business courses offered by colleges in Australia and New Zealand, including: Accounting; administration; banking; marketing; property; business development; human resource management; and advertising. Some colleges will offer specialist business courses within particular industries, e.g. hotel management or sport management; whereas others will offer a broader qualification covering a number of different aspects of running a business.
